Ro Ro Land at Daehangno, "Let Me Serve You Special".
(He starts talking about how every episode had kissing scenes.)
(I don't care. Tell me about Jun Su.)
(He loses out to his son.)
(Won Ki Jun made a huge mistake on stage?)
(Is this an aftereffect of being slapped on your face?)
(I shouldn't have said that.)
(It's Kim Gwang Sik's first visit to Radio Star!)
(A blind date at a hotel?)
(There's so much content to air!)
(Shin Da Eun's charms are totally unpredictable!)
(It's because we're not close.)
(Why are they good at singing? Aren't they a dance group?)
(She even has control over the hosts!)
(Put your hands up!)
(The four actors and actresses are very entertaining.)
("Let Me Serve You Special" begins now.)
Today...
On a day when I'm down
- Seeing them brightens my mood. - What was that?
- It's not "La La Land". - It was "Cocktail Love".
- I'm surprised he knows that song. - Four actors of Daehangno are here.
"Let Me Serve You Special".
First of all,
he's played many roles on dramas and movies,
but he's just a father of Jun Su.
With his 20 years of acting experience,
he hopes to be more recognized than Jun Su.
He dominates plays at Daehangno by being Jun Su's dad.
"Let me serve Jun Su's fans." It's Lee Jong Hyuk.
I still think of his role in "Once Upon a Time in High School".
For me, it's "A Gentleman's Dignity".
He was the lover of Lena Jung.
This person raises all mothers' blood pressure.
He appears on dramas that need high ratings.
He's also known as KSM...
because he's a man who was slapped by kimchi.
- His footage beats everyone else's. - His footage is the best.
- He's a prince of an epic footage. - I discovered something crucial.
I saw him closing his eyes slightly when he was about to be slapped.
- It was a bit disappointing. - Everyone would do the same.
He closed his eyes in advance, so we found out that he was acting.
He can't help closing his eyes unless he's a cyborg.
He's here to bring a better ticket sales volume of plays at Daehangno.
The blood pressure of his audience rises extremely because of him.
"Let me do the slapping scene." It's Won Ki Jun.
She plays actively as a daughter of working class families in dramas.
She's like Jun Ji Hyun to old people.
Thanks to Ha Seok Jin, she met her husband, Lim Sung Bin.
She's a newlywed bride who is spreading her love to the world.
On top of dramas, she's acting at Daehangno.
- She's on "You Are Too Much". - It's a drama.
"Let me serve newlywed couples." It's Shin Da Eun.
He was on many movies such as...
"War of Money", "Radio Star", "Once Upon a Time in a Battlefield",
and more, but he's the least known person here.
He looks a bit like a kid with mumps.
He looks a bit like the opponent of Kang Ho Dong...
- when he used to do ssireum. - That's right.
However, he's really famous at bars and pubs of Daehangno.
This is the scariest thing.
This middle-aged man has so many uproariously funny stories.
This will give him so much pressure.
- How could he make people laugh? - I'm sure he prepared something.
- There's no twist to this. - That will only torment him.
- "Uproariously funny stories..." - What should I do?
- That will only torment him. - We'll see.
- It only gives him pressure. - We'll see how his stories are.
- How could you be so harsh? - Read the next one.
He dreams of becoming the second Seo Hyun Cheol on Radio Star.
That is ridiculous.
- My gosh. - Here's another one.
- "Let me bring you a big laugh." - What is he going to do?
It's Kim Gwang Sik.
Welcome to the show.
- Hello. - Nice to meet you.
- Hello. - Hello.
They're new.
- Hello. - You know,
your chest is very well-developed.
(Embarrassed)
My mind is at ease these days, so I gained a bit of weight.
You have uproariously funny stories.
(Kyu Hyun gives him pressure.)
His hands are on his belly button.
Are you holding it since you may be too funny?
- I'm under a lot of pressure. - He'll hold it when he talks.
- What a pressuring comment. - That's right.
- Seriously, I can't. - Oh, no.
In fact, I couldn't sleep because of that.
I had a nightmare too. I wasn't sure if I should try to be funny...
- It's okay. - Relax.
- I'll share my stories casually. - You should do that.
- I'll talk about plays too. - That's right.
If that happens to be funny...
What I'm worried about is that Gwang Sik is...
hilarious when we go for team dinners...
after practice.
- Oh, dear. - Don't say that.
- Don't give him pressure. - Don't do that.
That's not helping him.
That's a comment to be slapped in the face for.
I understand now why I get slapped.
Do you get it now?
(Gosh, I want to go home.)
- Relax. - We didn't see it coming at all.
What I'm concerned with is that I can predict what will happen.
I predict that his stories will be funny.
Imagine that you're at a funeral. Relax and share your stories.
In a striped shirt?
(Relieved)
Jong Hyuk, it's been four years since you were last on Radio Star.
I heard you're worried that you have nothing to say.
- Yes, well... - It's already been four years?
- I don't have much to say. - Weren't you here for another play?
- That's right. - Am I not right?
- What is that? - It was a long time ago.
- "Amour". - It was a musical in the past.
I think it was in 2013.
I don't recall him being particularly funny on Radio Star.
He has a habit of subtly joining in the middle of a conversation.
Reality shows where his true self is revealed suits him better.
He's not the type who forces himself to deliver stories.
Please share some stories about your kids.
The kids.
- Tell us stories about Jun Su. - Jun Su?
We can only count on his two sons.
(What stories do I have regarding my sons?)
Jong Hyuk, you were startled upon hearing me mention Lena Jung.
- What drama was it? - "Queen's Flower".
You and Kim Sung Ryoung were lovers there.
I wasn't sure if I could really be in a loving relationship with her.
We didn't know if she should play a young role...
or if I should play an old one.
- You can both cater to each other. - We both catered to each other.
- Sung Ryoung looks young though. - That's right.
That's not it.
Jun Su, she's about...
(Jun Su, she's about...)
I mean, Jong Hyuk...
Jun Su?
What was that?
- She's almost... I'm sorry. - Jun Su.
(Just mentioning Jun Su's name is already funny.)
- I enjoyed watching that drama. - What was that?
It was fun working on it.
Jong Hyuk made his debut as a stage actor.
On the 20-year-old famous play "Liar",
he made his comeback as a main role instead of a supporting role.
However, he wasn't happy. He was only frustrated.
I was an unknown rookie then.
There were An Nae Sang, Lee Moon Sik, and Woo Hyun.
I liked working with them because I learned a lot.
Then many actors were switched to others.
It didn't feel the same. I felt like I was working for a new play.
- Is that so? - I was under a lot of pressure.
- What actors were replaced? - That's not it.
- There were so many. - Still.
- Jung Jae Young. - Jung Jae Young.
- Lee Jung Heon. - The actress.
I was there too.
You played Woo Hyun's role, right?
No, that's not right. I played a different role.
- I played a powerful detective. - A detective.
I was the core of the play.
Is that why you had a powerful look on your face?
You don't have to look so fierce.
He suddenly leaned forward as if it was his turn.
I wasn't sure if I should mention it.
(I wasn't sure.)
Gwang Sik was the original cast of "Liar".
He said during the preliminary interview that Jong Hyuk is cocky.
- Were you his senior at college? - No.
Jong Hyuk has all the conditions to be cocky.
- What we mean is... - What does that even mean?
He's saying that he is cocky.
He admits it.
What are the conditions to be cocky?
He's cocky, but he does his job well.
- He's handsome. - Excuse me?
- He's good-looking. - I see.
He's always had his fans.
There were actresses carrying cough drops...
while waiting for him. "Great work, Jong Hyuk." There were two of them.
- We all envied him. - Two of them?
There were two girls like that.
(Laughing)
Including Jong Shin, you're laughing a bit too much.
- Why? - Was that so funny?
- It's funny. - It is?
Don't you feel pressured by this situation?
- I do feel pressured. - I see.
You heard him. We don't have to laugh against our will.
- I thought, "Is this that funny?" - Exactly.
It only confuses you.
I laughed because I think that'll be the funniest story.
- That's right. - I'll keep the strictest look.
If you'd like to calm down, look at me...
- and talk. - This is how he normally is.
(It's getting harder and harder.)
Here's what I think.
You were both unknown 20 years ago. He's now become successful.
- That's right. - Seeing him after a long time,
you would've thought that he changed even though he treats you the same.
Have you never encountered that?
Of course I have.
- Share that with us. - He's hilarious.
The way he responds to us is funny. Don't you think so? It's hilarious.
- Don't overreact. - He was just doing this.
- Since a while ago... - I think it's really funny.
He's going overboard so the show would end quickly.
- That's not it. - There's so much content to air.
(I love getting off work on time.)
What episodes are there?
- He's always been arrogant. - He's always been that way?
- That's how he was. - He was arrogant. Now he's worse.
I heard he was arrogant since he was a rookie.
He was arrogant.
I think it'd be funnier if you could share an episode...
regarding his attitude.
An episode...
(He didn't see it coming.)
(Gu Ra can't wait to hear it.)
- We climbed Bukhan Mountain. - Bukhan Mountain.
It was to cheer ourselves in the beginning.
We went to the highest peak, Baegundae Peak.
I was poor at climbing then.
I was exhausted from climbing the mountain with all my energy.
You know how people eat gimbap on the mountain top?
I was eating a piece at a time. Since I was way too exhausted,
- I ate two pieces at a time. - Since you were too exhausted.
It's hard to pick the pieces each time.
You become thirsty. Anyway...
You ate two pieces at a time.
"Eat one piece at a time!"
(Looking carefully)
It's because you forced him to share a story.
- It's... - He's...
You can see that he's thinking in his head right now.
It's all because...
you forced him to share a story he didn't prepare.
- Excuse me. - There's a natural flow.
- That's not it. - You...
See how he's drinking water right now.
Oh, dear.
- Relax. - I think...
He can't finish his story.
He'll be more relaxed when we move on to his questions.
- Relax. - Comparing this to a stock market,
it's like having a high expectation then being totally disappointed.
- It was listed, but... - No.
- We're being totally disappointed. - It's because of Jong Shin's laugh.
(His stories' price goes down.)
Ki Jun is a man who was slapped in the face with kimchi.
Seriously...
We only knew about the kimchi slap...
and Yeongpo Prince,
but he's actually a stage actor who performed a lot at Daehangno.
He performed at Daehangno, and he was on a lot of musicals.
For this play,
you said you're not worried about the ticket sales.
You showed your confidence with that.
It's a play with double cast.
- For double cast plays, - You care.
- you have no choice but to care. - That's right.
After Jong Hyuk was cast,
I thought we don't need to worry about the ticket sales.
- Why? - That's what I thought.
- Why is that? - It's not just Jong Hyuk.
We have Da Eun,
- and Shoo's a double cast with her. - Shoo.
Then there's Narsha.
- Narsha. - Narsha.
We have Son Dam Bi too.
If the acting crew was divided into team A and team B,
you would be able to tell why this team's ticket sales are...
worse than the other team.
- However, we're all mixed. - "It's not my fault."
You don't know whom to give credits for a high volume of ticket sales.
- Still, there's a way to find out. - How?
You can roughly tell.
(What? Really?)
Anyway...
If you compare the number of ticket sales between...
casts of different days, you can find out.
Through statistics,
the ticket sales are shown to be low on average when Ki Jun performs.
There are many tickets left.
- Through statistics... - You can figure it out.
(Should I call my friends to come see the show?)
Ki Jun, when you attended Seoul Institute of Arts,
you were a member of minor society with Jong Hyuk.
- You two were close since then. - A minor society in college?
- Its name was Blues. - There's nearly nothing.
Blues...
was unofficial, so it was a minor society.
- It wasn't registered. - It wasn't a registered society.
In fact,
even if you wanted to join the society,
you couldn't just simply join.
You were recruited.
- Each one of six seniors... - Did they pick you?
- scanned the juniors. - They each picked one.
They each picked one.
Seeing the two of them, I think it's a society of handsome guys.
Who were your seniors?
There were Ahn Jae Wook,
- Exactly. - He's handsome too.
Kim Jin Soo...
- Jin Soo. - What?
- Jin Soo is also... - Jin Soo.
- decent looking. - Shin Dong Yeob,
- Lee Hwi Jae, - Hwi Jae.
- Kim Han Seok... - They all go after women.
- They're all handsome. - There was Pyo In Bong too.
In Bong too? Then it may not be.
(You can join the society if you're funny.)
The interesting thing is,
people usually scream "cheers" out loud,
- but we didn't do that. - What did you do then?
Shall we show them?
Me? Please don't include me.
- Show us. - Show us.
- It must be really embarrassing. - Come on.
- I'm your senior. - Okay.
A senior would raise the glass.
- "We are..." - "Blues".
What is that?
- It's peaceful. - You gained confidence, right?
I think I'm in trouble now.
(He feels more pressured.)
Ki Jun...
was inspired by his senior, Ahn Jae Wook...
and prepared a mimicry of animals.
Jae Wook is...
really good at mimicking the sounds of woodpeckers.
Kyung Shik is good at that, Kim Kyung Shik.
- Jae Wook is good at that too. - On television,
I've never heard him mimicking the sounds of woodpeckers.
You mean this sound, right?
But when we were in college, he sounded just like a woodpecker.
Women loved it so much.
"Women love it when you make animal sounds."
(What a brilliant idea.)
- That's why I worked on it too. - You studied it?
I thought of making animal sounds.
I wondered what I should do,
- then I discovered my talent. - What is it?
- A duck's cry. - That's quite common.
- Isn't it this? - It may be common, but how he...
- describes it makes the difference. - Details make the difference.
That's what rookies do.
I'll do an impression of Donald Duck first.
(Duck quacking)
- My gosh. - He's good.
Then the ducks fight.
(Ducks quack more violently.)
- Nice. - My goodness.
- You're good. - Then...
another Donald Duck speaks in the middle of brushing his teeth.
(Another duck brushes his teeth.)
After brushing his teeth, he gets mad.
- Ki Jun is pretty good. - When it's angry...
My face will be distorted badly.
(He splashes his saliva.)
- Nice. - That was great.
That was the combination.
- That was amazing. - A chicken and a pig.
Mimicking ducks only will be too boring.
- It's fun. - Then there's the sound of chicken.
He studied a lot.
(Chicken cackling)
- The style is similar... - You're good at chicken's cackling.
- What about a pig? - Pig's howling is easy.
(He mimics the sound of a pig.)
It's eating.
- It's very detailed. - It's eating.
I've never seen anyone making animal sounds this well. It's detailed.
How cool. He's dominating from the beginning.
I guess Jae Wook stopped making animal sounds...
as he became a star and played leading roles.
That's why the students of Seoul Institute of Arts say he changed.
He used to make sounds of woodpeckers in the past,
but he no longer does it since "Star in My Heart".
(He cares about his image after "Star in My Heart".)
It's Da Eun's first time being on Radio Star.
She had a bad impression of Gu Ra before.
- That's possible. - However, she began to like him...
due to her husband.
Yes, they worked on the same TV program for about 10 months.
That's right. I worked on the same program with him.
Honestly,
- I didn't like him. - It's possible.
- Everyone feels that way. - I'm not the only one, right?
- I really didn't like him. - I get it.
I asked my husband when he came home.
"How is he? He's unpleasant, right?"
- I guess she really hated him. - "Be honest. He's horrible, right?"
My husband said "No, he's really nice."
He would've said that Jun Hyun Moo is unpleasant.
(Jun Hyun Moo was another host of the show.)
I saw the TV program.
Gu Ra mentioned my husband's name often.
"Designer Lim Sung Bin."
I mentioned "The Return of Hwang Geum Bok" as well.
I almost got paid from that show...
- because I was mentioned so often. - I mentioned her a lot.
Since he likes my husband,
I grew fond of him.
- That's why... - Since he was nice to your husband,
- you changed your mind? - Of course.
The ones that are nice to me...
- are my ally. - Is that how you divide everyone?
Your ally and your enemy?
He also gave us monetary gift on our wedding.
- I gave them 300 dollars. - That's right.
- Don't be so overt. - Don't mention such stuff.
Stop it now.
What do you mean? I just started.
- Still... - Let me talk about her husband.
- How is he? - He is...
a very skilled interior designer...
who is also very famous.
He's a really nice guy.
- He's really nice. - That's why I live with him.
- He's so nice. - He's nice.
- He's experienced too. - You're nice too. She's very nice.
- She's nice. - You don't know that...
- because we're not close. - Is that so?
(She attacks him with a straightforward comment.)
I suddenly feel sad...
because I thought we were really close.
(She's very straightforward with an innocent smile on her face.)
And yet, she said that her favorite host on Radio Star was...
S, whom she couldn't mention the full name.
- S. - When I was a student,
- I liked him so much. - You liked S.
- Many women like S. - S.
What did you like about S?
It was soon after Country Kko Kko made their debut.
He wore a big suit.
- The sleeves were long too. - That's right.
There was a part where he rapped.
He popped his body like this.
You're pretty good at that.
- That was his specialty. - When he rapped like this,
I found him so cool.
- You were a fan. - You're a bit unique.
It was my first time...
liking a celebrity as a man. I never liked any celebrities.
You don't marry your ideal type of man,
but S and Sung Bin are quite different.
I grew into an adult.
- Sung Bin looks really nice. - My standards became higher.
- I see. - Da Eun...
kissed Kyu Hyun when they worked on the musical "The Days".
- Right? - Yes, we did.
You remember Kyu Hyun treating you nicely in a rude way.
- Yes. - He was nice to you in a rude way?
Kyu Hyun is very consistent.
He bows politely for two seconds then changes right away.
Being nice to one in a rude way can be more charming.
- Of course. - Yes. He's very charming.
Please say something nice. How was it?
In fact, I challenged myself for a musical...
out of my greed.
I learned that I was poor at singing while working on that piece.
That's why I asked him. "Is she good at singing?"
He said "No".
He answered like that right away.
I actually felt bad for Kyu Hyun. We had many songs to sing as a duo.
I often read comments online,
and I got much criticism. "How dare you sing with Kyu Hyun!"
"Her voice is so irritating." I actually felt the same way.
I felt bad adding my voice on top of his.
What song did you sing? Can you show us here?
- Don't do that. - Let's hear it.
Just say the title of the song.
- It's a song by Kim Kwang Seok. - I want to understand...
- how his fans felt. - You've worked on musicals too.
Yes, sometimes.
- You suddenly sound not confident. - Jong Hyuk...
- What song is it? - Exactly.
I sang it once.
My voice often cracked.
Give it a try.
- She acts so well... - Of course.
- Her acting compliments for it. - What song is it?
It's "To You".
- "To You". - Give it a try.
The piano plays the first intro...
while everything remains silent.
My
- I need to sing alone. - Your voice almost cracked now.
- I just got goose bumps. - She sang two notes.
She sang two notes in such a brief moment?
I was anxious after hearing the two notes.
- She's not that bad. - Hang on.
- It's because I'm nervous. - Let's hear it.
Ready, go.
Have you seen my sky?
Patches of cloud
My voice cracked like this. At that moment,
Patches of cloud...
She kind of sounds like Sha Wujing.
- Like this. - As soon as my voice cracked,
I could feel 1,000 people...
in the audience worrying about me instead of being angry.
"Oh, dear."
- "What should I do?" - Until Da Eun finished singing,
- everyone became united. - They became united.
Everyone was nervous watching her sing.
(Everyone saw the musical while being nervous.)
I felt really bad. I wanted to make it up by acting well.
After going through the revolving door,
I asked Kyu Hyun why it's so hard to sing low keys. He's a good singer.
I never knew that he was good at singing before.
You figured it out after working with him?
"Why is he so good at singing? Isn't he a member of Super Junior?"
- He was so good at singing. - Super Junior must be poor singers.
- We sing well. - "Why does he sing so well?"
Since they only dance like this,
- I didn't know. - You thought they dance only.
- They always sugarcoat. - He was really good at singing.
He must have studied a lot on music because he sings so well.
I asked him why my voice cracks often on low keys.
"It's because you are horrible at singing."
- You said it. - I did?
- You were right though. - I thought it was refreshing.
In order to prevent me from making more mistakes,
since we'd be in big trouble if I did,
everyone was very careful. "Good job, Da Eun. How do you feel?"
We always started our performances like this.
- He made you feel comfortable. - Since he told me like that,
I felt really comfortable around him.
Da Eun has a nasal voice.
You're very cute when you talk with your husband, right?
- Yes, I am. - She's the adorable type.
Sung Bin is very quiet.
- That's right. - They'd get along well.
- They suit each other. - She's a very cute person.
If you sang well, you would've been really enchanting.
I'm not that bad.
- I'm pretty decent. - You are bad.
Gwang Sik, due to Jong Hyuk's inattentive way of speaking...
like Jun Su, you almost broke off your friendship with him.
- He gets hurt by that. - Is that what it was?
That's what the story about Mount Bukhan gimbap was.
Now I don't have a story to tell now.
- Already? - He was in a rush, so he shared it.
- From the first question? - Exactly.
He told it first because he felt pressured.
When there's an incident regarding food,
the relationship takes a long time to heal.
- That's right. - You would've been really upset.
I was really upset.
Do you often get hurt by your wife too?
No. Not at all.
She has a nice personality.
- I mean... - Your wife, you mean?
- You mean your wife? - Yes, she never hurts me.
- Your wife never does. - How long have you been married?
About three years.
- You got married late. - Yes.
- Is it your second marriage? - Come on.
- I was just asking. - This is Radio Star.
- I got startled. - Since you're pretty old,
- we were just wondering. - I asked out of curiosity.
- Did you meet her while performing? - No.
My friend introduced her to me.
Was it an arranged marriage?
It wasn't an arranged marriage. Come on.
It was a blind date.
- By a wedding consultant? - Normally,
stage actors have their special episodes about their marriages.
However, his explanation was so simple.
- Right. - There's no story behind it.
I called her after getting her number.
Did you like her from the first time you met?
She gave me a good first impression.
When we met, I suggested if we should go to a hotel...
since we're pretty old.
- A hotel? - That's not what I meant.
- A coffee shop in a hotel. - A coffee shop in a hotel.
- Don't get me wrong. - Of course not.
- Then... - It was...
It was your first meeting with each other.
We met casually at Daehangno.
I asked her if she would like to go for a drink.
"Sure."
We went to a Chinese restaurant and drank a bit of alcohol.
And she could really drink.
"Shall we go for another round?" We had soju with rice noodles.
- That was your first meeting. - On the first day.
- Interesting. - She can really hold her liquor.
Do you still drink a lot of alcohol together?
- We do. - Even now?
We enjoy drinking alcohol.
- We drink all kinds of liquor. - They both like drinking alcohol.
- After marriage, men normally... - They like drinking together.
don't drink alcohol with their wives.
- That's how most people are. - I enjoy...
- drinking alcohol with my wife. - Most people aren't like that.
- When does that start? - It's...
(Everyone's flustered.)
It's because... Da Eun, what I mean is...
that there are two cases. Some couples drink alcohol together.
Another case is, as they become more stressed with marriage life,
they might end up arguing after drinking,
- so they never drink together. - In my case,
we don't drink alone. We invite people over.
Wives have a lot to say when they drink alcohol with their husbands.
I don't enjoy drinking alcohol alone with her either.
It turns out that way after people leave though.
- There are those cases too. - After all the guests leave?
He's experienced it often.
I've been married for 15 years.
(Da Eun is worried because she's been married for a year only.)
Gwang Sik, you said that Jong Hyuk is quite difficult,
but that he's nice enough to fill in for you.
I guess there was such an incident.
There was.
Elaborate on that.
"There was." We need to know what really happened.
- I was catching a breath. - That's his style.
That's his style. Was there such an incident?
This isn't a yes or no question on a customs declaration form.
He should elaborate, but he answers very briefly.
- Then he remains silent. - That's his style.
- That's the style of his speech. - I think it's a sad story.
- It's not a sad story. - Is that so?
This was when we were performing "Liar".
Among winter sports, I love skiing.
I was planning to ski quickly in the morning and come back...
- to perform in the evening. - Skiing.
That was the plan, but the highway was jammed with traffic.
It passed the show time.
The theater couldn't delay it any longer.
Jong Hyuk had played the same role before.
He was practicing in another room,
so I asked him urgently to play my role.
He saved you.
- Did you remember all the lines? - The lines.
- How did you remember the lines? - What were you doing then?
That's when I was performing the musical "Blood Brothers".
I was working for that musical with Kim Min Ki.
Then I saw this marketing employee of "Liar" approaching me.
"Why is he here?" I kept practicing.
Mr. Kim Min Ki told me "You need to go now".
I said, "I have to practice."
He told me to go and I went over the lines in my head...
- on my way to the theater. - Can you do it without practicing?
There was Lee Moon Sik and An Nae Sang there.
"Jong Hyuk, I'll help you with everything. Just say the lines..."
"you remember." I said okay and performed.
What happened after arriving late?
You would've left when he arrived in the middle of the play.
I saw him from the auditorium. I saw him standing.
I saw him standing in the auditorium while I was performing.
He was watching saying, "This is fun."
- I see. - In fact,
I learned a lot while watching him perform.
He performed live.
"I exaggerate my acting like the way he does."
- I realized that. - He even filled in for you.
You learned that you shouldn't act like Jong Hyuk?
I realized that.
(He became his acting teacher against his will.)
Jong Hyuk performed "Liar", a 20-year-old play of Daehangno.
Woo Hyun became a man with the most cash because of this play.
- Yes. "Liar" was a big hit then. - Was he the producer?
Yes, he was the producer.
Back then, we used to have soju with fish cake soup only,
- but he paid all the bills for us. - He had a bundle of cash.
Didn't Woo Hyun do a variety of things other than producing?
He ran a bar with An Nae Sang too.
He ran a bar called "Drinks for Youths"...
- at Daehangno. - "Drinks for Youths".
Drinks for Youths...
- Can I say things like this here? - Of course.
- What is it about? - Please do.
- What is it about? - It's nothing special.
It's a story about the pub.
After some time, the business became bad.
They couldn't sell the place, and they couldn't run the business.
Since I was Woo Hyun's junior,
he told me to be in charge of the place.
There was this stock market bar I've been to in Germany.
On the screen, the price of beer...
would change from 1.5 dollars to 1.3 dollars or 1.7 dollars.
There's a stock market bar?
- It really exists. - That's new.
- So do the prices keep changing? - Yes, they keep changing.
A snack might cost 2 dollars or 5 dollars.
When it's cheap, the customers start buying...
because they are surprised at the low cost.
- They'd buy when it's cheap. - I see.
- "Get that. It's 20 cents!" - That's right.
- "Let's buy that now." - That's fun.
I wanted to try this idea, so I did.
The customers found this very fun.
When they first came, they had fun.
"This is the time! Let's order a couple of that now."
"This is the time."
The restaurant's sales did go up.
Westerners tend to watch the prices and drink slowly,
but this isn't how Koreans drink.
We like to talk people around us.
They did find it fun in the beginning,
but later on, they started to stop paying attention.
They started talking among themselves.
- I understand your point. - They didn't pay attention to it.
- "I got it." - They lost interest.
It wasn't that effective, but it sure was fun.
(The customers found it to be fun just like Jong Shin and Gu Ra.)
- That's a good idea. - Jong Hyuk,
it's been 20 years since you've been acting in theaters.
I heard you deliver a perfect performance to the audience.
- First of all, I ought to. - Okay.
I starred on "The Bodyguard" recently.
At the end, I had to turn myself to protect Whitney Houston...
and aim my gun at the stalker.
When the stalker shoots at me, I had to get shot.
When I shoot him back, he had to fall and I had to fall too,
but the gun didn't make any sound.
- What do you do when that happens? - I didn't know what to do.
- You should make that sound. - I thought this was an accident.
So I just fell and pretended to be dead.
- Really? - So the stalker...
made it sound like the gun went off and pretended to be dead too.
I guess he died of a heart attack.
(He was startled at the technical accident.)
"What a petty guy. You installed a silencer."
He could have improvised like this.
He could've said, "Out of all times, why did hypoglycemia act up now?"
Isn't my idea better than hypoglycemia?
"You have low blood sugar too?"
- It was... - I was on a play long time ago.
In the dressing room, there is a monitor...
- to show the stage. - There is one.
Without realizing it, I had become one of the audience.
- You were watching the show. - Yes, a nanny said,
"Spirit of Smallpox!"
- Spirit of Smallpox didn't appear. - It was you.
- I forgot I was Spirit of Smallpox. - You forgot because it was fun.
All of a sudden, everyone was thrown into confusion.
- "You jerk, are you insane?" - They cursed at you.
- They smacked you too, didn't they? - "Is it me?"
(Only then he ran to the stage.)
(I don't know why I did that.)
Is this aftereffect of you getting slapped?
(Is this aftereffect of you getting slapped?)
My first musical was "Grease".
I had to stand on top of a car and sing, "Run like the wind".
When the music played, suddenly I couldn't remember the lyrics.
- What do you do then? - So I sang,
"La la la la la la"
I didn't sing with the lyrics.
The chorus was supposed to sing, "Run, a nimble young man".
Since I didn't sing the lyrics,
they sang, "La la la la la la".
- They sang without the lyrics too. - I see.
- They were quick-witted. - They handled it well.
This isn't that bad of a mistake.
When I was performing on a musical, there was a time my mind went blank.
- Singers can look at the prompter. - I couldn't remember the lines.
- Did you take a break? - I pretended...
the microphone wasn't working.
I lowered my head and touched it.
- I was a bit flustered. - I see.
When you forget the lines, you can try to remember by slowing down.
That doesn't always work out.
You can't remember the lines once you forget?
I performed on a show not so long ago.
There were so many lines.
I felt really intimidated by the role since it had so many lines.
But the thing is...
Can I talk about this though?
- Please do. - Yes, you can.
- How bad could it be? - Exactly.
What happened?
- It's not that important either. - Seriously.
His story about the bar with fluctuating prices was acceptable.
(His story about the bar with fluctuating prices was acceptable.)
- So what happened? - So then...
I had a trauma that if this show could...
- actually start. - You were quite scared.
I was very scared.
When I acted on the first day of the show,
the audience really loved it...
- Because you were good? - because I was so good.
- Your story ends here, doesn't it? - So you memorized all the lines?
So have you ever forgotten the lines or not?
I have never forgotten my lines before.
Then why did he ask if he could tell us this story? Why?
Why on earth did he ask that?
He asked because his story was so trivial.
From now on, if he asks, we should not allow him to tell the story.
(He can't tell his story now.)
Gwang Sik, I heard that for your appearance on our show,
- you prepared special skills. - I did?
I'm in trouble now.
You can do a quadruple turn.
- You can do a quadruple turn? - He said he can.
That's easy.
- You can show us. - He learned ballet.
Let's see your turn now.
This is how Gwang Sik turns.
After you get into position,
do this.
When I lift my leg, I can turn.
- Okay, we got it. - All right. We understand that.
- So what then? - He keeps just talking about it.
- In the movie "White Night", - Okay.
- Mikhail Baryshnikov... - Mikhail Baryshnikov.
turns 12 times.
- How many turns will you make? - He can...
If I have to turn a lot, I can't do it in this position.
I have to wrap my arms around myself.
Then I would do it swiftly.
- Okay, we said we got it. - "Swiftly"? What was that?
(They wanted to see his turn, but they're about to get frustrated.)
- We just want to see your turn. - Exactly.
- Shall we take a look now? - I will do the ballet turn.
(He will make the ballet turn.)
- His feet are... - I can turn in this position.
Okay.
So turn in that position.
Please turn. Turn, please!
- Show us your turn. - Let me show you then.
- The position of feet looks right. - His position seems to be good.
- You have a good posture. - Come on, give me more credits.
(What?)
(He doesn't know where he's going too.)
(This is more of a circus than ballet.)
(Gwang Sik's show is over.)
- He finished well. - By the way,
he kept his position...
- until the end. - Let's look at it again.
That was great.
Jong Hyuk, can you make a quadruple turn too?
- I could do it before. - Jong Hyuk...
- The thing is that... - He's doing it.
when you stand up, you have to turn quickly.
Jong Hyuk, do better than Gwang Sik.
(He's composed since he went first.)
I should do better.
I don't think I can do this.
- If he can't do this then... - I see.
- Where are you going? - What was that?
What did you have to see?
(I can't believe Gwang Sik did better than I did.)
- Gwang Sik, you prepared a rap? - A rap?
- You can rap too? - He will do this after his turn.
I was in a play called "Nos Femmes".
In the play, I had to rap.
- Really? - Yes, I rapped in one part.
I was fighting with my friend in one scene.
My friend said, "You only like singers who passed away."
"Don't you like only Kim Kwang Seok's songs and Yoo Jae Ha?"
"You only like classical music like Mozart's."
"You can't possibly like rap songs."
I said, "Would you like to see?"
Then I showed my friend a little bit of my rap.
- So we're asking you to show us. - Seriously.
- We don't want your story. - Your story isn't important.
- Goodness. - The point was to hear your rap.
- Are you going to do it or not? - He's tiring me.
You are going to do it though, aren't you?
Do we have the music though?
Give us a song.
(He's thinking.)
- It started now. - Okay.
Look at him.
(He gets up looking determined.)
(His attitude changes right away.)
I am on my way home
(Moving up and down)
I won't be swept by the flow
(I am MC Gwang Sik.)
Do your turn.
Finish it with your turn.
- I am not done yet. - You are not?
Put your hands up.
(Everyone, put your hands up.)
I didn't know it'd be this long.
I'm sorry I tricked you for 30 years
(I am going to pursue my path. He stubbornly performs his rap.)
(I respect you, MC Gwang Sik.)
The reason why I didn't change
(He keeps his swag until the end.)
Da Eun, you are loved by the elders in daily and weekend dramas.
When you starred on "The Return of Hwang Geum Bok",
- you were slapped so many times. - Yes, I was.
I heard your teeth were about to fall out.
You played the villain in the drama, didn't you?
No, I was the heroine.
(She's sullen.)
- You've done it many times though. - She was slapped.
- Villains do get slapped, but... - Why would the villains be slapped?
- Seriously. - Who played the villain?
I was beaten up and slapped by Shim Hye Jin in the morning.
I was slapped by Lee Hye Sook in the same afternoon.
- In the evening, - Middle-aged actors slapped you.
I was slapped by Lee Elijah again.
I was slapped 3 times in 1 day.
- You were slapped 3 times in 1 day. - That's so true.
I kept running. I had a muscle pain. I was splashed with dirty water.
- Even my teeth wobbled too. - Are you serious?
They were Hye Jin, Hye Sook,
- and Elijah? - Yes.
Whose slap hurt the most?
The slap that hurt me the most...
was Hye Jin's slap.
- I see. - She was skillful at slapping.
(Hye Jin, you are too harsh.)
Have you ever slapped other actresses?
No, I mean... This is...
There was one time.
(Her eyes open wide.)
- I got to splash water. - You splashed water.
I practiced it over 10 times. I felt so much better after that.
(Laughing)
- To whom did you splash the water? - I splashed it to Elijah.
We were friends in the drama.
(Elijah is like walking like a sophisticated city woman.)
(Take this water bucket!)
(What is this?)
(Ta-da!)
(This is my revenge!)
Do you usually play the villains?
I usually play good-hearted, dumb,
- or cheerful characters. - Her voice...
sounds too nice for her to play a villain.
- Right, but I want to try though. - The voice has to sound sharp.
I don't think a villain fits you though.
But I have so much anger inside me.
Why do you have much anger? You're living happily with your husband.
- I mean... - It's her personality.
I am a bad person by nature.
I became kind-hearted because I tried to lead a good life.
The truth is that I feel great when I do mean things.
- I feel so relieved. - Do you believe in Xunzi?
- What do you mean? - Xunzi?
- "Human nature is evil." - "Human nature is evil."
Yes, I think I was on the evil side.
I became nice.
The white part of her eyes is big, so the villain role will suit her.
- Right? I can open my eyes wide. - That's true.
(Please contact me for a role of a villain.)
Da Eun, you appeared...
in many dramas, musicals, and plays.
You auditioned over 100 times during 14 years of your career?
- This is why you had so much anger. - You call yourself...
- You've been acting for long. - I...
I only got the roles through auditions.
- You never got offered the roles. - No, not really.
That's why I had to overcome so many obstacles...
for me to star in a drama.
Do you have special talents you show off during auditions?
I wouldn't call it a talent.
- Since I did so many auditions... - You learned some tricks?
The reason why the director rejects me...
- Can I use that word? - Yes, you can.
I can see that you do have anger inside you.
Getting rejected by the directors feels so similar to getting...
dumped by a man.
My self-esteem gets low and I lose my confidence.
After going through so many auditions,
later on, I realized I couldn't do anything to get this role.
My acting skills or looks won't help me get the role.
I realized there was this hidden influence.
I asked the director bluntly if he planned on hiring me or not.
- You were straightforward. - I asked him that out of nowhere.
- You got to the point. - "Are you going to cast me or not?"
- She is really angry inside. - Then...
(That's right.)
That's how I mostly got my roles.
"I booked a flight ticket for tomorrow."
"I will cancel it if you are going to cast me."
- She's amazing. - "Or I'll go. Will you cast me?"
- That's what I really did. - "I will go on that trip then."
Your straightforwardness might have made you look more promising.
- He might've perceived you like it. - I look imprudent,
but confident at the same time.
- Right. You do look confident. - Exactly.
I don't think you can use that card every single time.
- You can't use it after today. - "Who does she think she is?"
(Oh, no. I am doomed.)
She was angry ever since the start of her career.
- People said she was ugly. - I heard that a lot.
I really got that a lot.
You didn't get any plastic surgeries done, did you?
- I did improve on my looks. - You made improvements?
I preserved most of what...
- my father gave me. - She did get surgeries done.
Does your husband know about the surgeries?
Of course he does.
(Chuckling)
- He knows? - He saw all my old photos at home.
- Really? - He was surprised.
What did he say after he saw them?
He said I was cute.
(The hosts are fascinated by her cute charms.)
Was there a time you didn't get a role due to your looks?
It actually happened quite often.
During my audition, a director said,
"How can you read this line so well?"
"But you can't get this role because you're ugly." This happened a lot.
- The director said that? - Yes.
He told me that men had to fall for me,
but they wouldn't fall for me.
That must have hurt your pride.
But I do kind of agree.
I am actually grateful that I've been acting for 10 years...
with the height and the looks...
- I have. - Then which part of your face...
do you like the most?
- Among my facial features? - Yes.
The white part of my eyes.
(What is this now?)
- What? - She has a weird personality too.
(She's scary.)
- She's smart. - The white part?
- I mean it. - You should star in horror films.
- It's rare to be this white. - You mean your eyes?
- Look. They are white. - I see.
(His jaw drops.)
Which part of your face does your husband think is the prettiest?
(Thinking)
(I can feel the romantic vibe.)
I don't think I would want to hear your answer.
(He blocks it in advance.)
(Gu Ra and Kyu Hyun can't tolerate love.)
Which part of your face does your husband find the prettiest?
The whole face?
- Your husband has a great smile. - He has a big smile.
I looked him up just now. He is good-looking.
- Does he have a great smile? - He is handsome.
When he smiles, he looks like Jim Carrey.
That's right. He looks like the dog in "The Mask".
- He resembles the dog in the film? - Not Jim Carrey?
She has a unique personality.
- I haven't met her before. - She has quite a character.
Soo Young of Girls' Generation...
once said this to Jong Hyuk.
"My mom is sad that both my sister and I had a kissing scene..."
- "with Jong Hyuk." - What is this about?
- Her sister is a celebrity? - She does have a sister.
She has an older sister.
- I see. Really? - Is she an actress?
She is a musical actress.
- Really? - Her name is Choi Su Jin.
- People might think that... - I didn't know this.
- you're promiscuous, Jong Hyuk. - That is possible.
There was a drama called "Dating Agency: Cyrano" in tvN.
- I was partnered with Soo Young. - That's right.
At the end of the drama, there was a kissing scene.
After that drama, when I starred on "Amour",
Su Jin played my love interest.
- Soo Young's older sister? - Yes.
For every show,
- we had to kiss. - Kiss?
I heard their mother was lamented that...
it was with only one guy.
- Her two daughters... - Right, her two daughters...
- kissed a married man. - "Why is there only one guy?"
(He's sorry.)
- But... - Since you feel sorry,
I read you'd like to apologize through a video message.
Is this how it's going to play out?
Hello.
(He sends a video message as he's told.)
I had no choice.
Since we all met in a project together...
- Something is off. - What is this?
Mother, everything will be all right.
- This will make her angrier. - What on earth was that?
(The video message didn't help him at all.)
Ki Jun, you said that after filming a kissing scene,
it's scary to go home.
My wife doesn't say anything about the scenes.
But one day,
I was showing a video to my child.
It's possible to use my wife's phone and show the video. I used hers.
There was a video that she took of the TV.
I played it to see what it was about.
She took a video of the kissing scene I filmed.
All of a sudden,
- I wondered why she took the video. - Why did she take the video?
Doesn't your wife stare at you while you sleep?
(I have my eyes on you.)
After I watched the video,
- I kind of felt weird. - You probably thought it was weird.
- Why didn't you ask her? - Did you pretend you didn't see?
I just pretended that I didn't see the video.
It's also weird for me to ask why she took the video.
- The kissing scene... - You'd feel better to get slapped.
(This is better.)
Recently, you played a vicious villain in a drama.
- You keep playing the villains. - You're an expert in playing them.
It's more fun to play a villain than a nice character.
- I see. - When you play a nice character,
I have to say yes and ask if others are okay.
But when I am the villain, I say, "Hey, do you know how much this is?"
I can say, "Forget that. Just clean this up."
Are you implying that you wanted to act like this in real life?
I don't think he had the upper hand in life.
(Jong Shin's words strike home.)
He probably gets stressed out raising children.
- He wanted to try it. - He lived as a subordinate.
Don't you want to say to the TV staff...
to give you more money?
Or something like, "Why did you cast me when your budget isn't enough?"
Don't you imagine saying things like that?
You are right, Gu Ra. It's because...
I never had an agent.
I still don't have one.
- You still don't have an agent? - Yes, since I don't have an agent,
it's hard for the actor...
- to discuss performance fees. - That's true.
Right now, Bae Yong Joon is running an agency...
- called Keyeast. - Did he try to sign you?
I was very close to Yong Joon.
(All of a sudden, they are close.)
You can't reach him?
(That's the correct answer.)
I thought he would want to sign me for his agency.
We also filmed a movie together in 1993.
- When we filmed it... - In 1993?
- Yes. Lee Se Chang was in it too. - That was so long ago.
- It's been 24 years. - With Yong Joon...
- I've known him for 24 years. - It's been that long?
- That long? - Yes, we served in the army too.
It's been so long.
I shouldn't' have brought it up.
Why don't you call Yong Joon?
He changed his number...
- Tell him that you're Um Ki Joon. - and didn't tell me.
(Um Ki Joon is famous.)
And then you should show up at the end.
Show up later and tell him you're Won Ki Joon.
I'm sorry.
I think that's a good idea.
(He's innocent.)
Ki Jun, when you were in college,
there was a rumor that you, Choi Sung Kook, and Ryu Seung Soo...
were treated like princes at night.
Sung Kook is my senior.
I signed up for another minor society...
- other than Blues. - You were quite active.
- What was the name of the society? - How many societies did you join?
It was called WHP.
- WHP? - WHP?
- It's an abbreviation. - What could that be?
WHP?
Women Hunting...
(He looks as if he's been treated unfairly.)
- Women Hunting Power! - I think that's right.
- No, it's not. - It's not?
- I think we could've used that. - Women Hunting Project.
- Then what was it? - What was it?
It was White Horse Prince.
It's a society of princes who ride white horses.
(This was Ki Jun's fraternity.)
This is much better.
- This is... - Seriously? What is that?
- White Horse Prince. - That was the name.
The grammar is terrible too.
Didn't Sung Kook come up with the name?
I didn't name the society. It was Sung Kook.
- Sung Kook... - He was the president.
- I knew it. - It ran for two years.
I will tell you a funny story. Back then in Itaewon,
there was a nightclub named Vivace under Hamilton Hotel.
- It existed back in my days too. - It was the only nightclub...
with the option of cheap beer and food.
A waiter called Young Shim always took care of us.
We always ordered the beer set.
Then Young Shim would bring...
the expensive foreign liquor...
another customer keep at the nightclub.
It made us look better.
The liquor wasn't for us to drink.
It only adorned the table.
- It's an ornament. - It would look bad...
- to only have beer on the table. - Young Shim is a good waiter.
Choi Sung Kook was hilarious.
Back then, nightclubs had separate blues and disco times.
- That's right. - When blues time ended...
and disco time began, the floor became pretty empty.
Whenever that happened, Sung Kook said,
"Ki Jun, let's show our faces."
They were handsome back then.
Then I would go to the floor.
Sung Kook...
really showed his face.
He didn't even dance much. He just did this.
He would make a turn...
- and show his face. - He made a full circle.
He did that on purpose.
By the time he made a full circle, people filled the floor.
"Let's go back."
- Then we would return to our table. - The tables would be empty.
We showed our faces and checked out women.
Then we called Young Shim and asked to bring certain women to our table.
Would you be okay if this airs?
It's all in the past.
Sung Kook wouldn't mind.
His character in "Sex Is Zero" best represents him.
He is like that character in real life.
I wondered, "How did he get accepted to this university?"
"How did he get accepted to this university?"
(Feel free to explain yourself on Radio Star.)
Gwang Sik, thanks to Director Lee Jun Ik,
you starred in "Once Upon A Time In The Battlefield".
- It came after "Liar". - I see.
"Liar" was a funny play.
The production team of the movie enjoyed the play...
and decided to cast every actor of "Liar".
- The movie had a lot of actors. - It had a lot of actors.
Since I needed to use a dialect in the movie,
I went to Jeolla Province to study.
You went to Jeolla Province to study.
I was learning the language when I got a call.
"Come back to Seoul." It was the film company.
I was asked to act with the candidates in the audition.
- It was for the audition. - I see.
Executives watched the audition and decided...
who passed or failed. They asked for my opinion.
- They asked for your opinion. - What did you say?
- "What did you think of his act?" - "It was nice."
- "It was nice." - Then they listened to you.
There were times...
I lied when actors did a poor job.
Then the executives would say, "Really?"
I lied when people I know from plays came to the audition.
Even when they didn't do well, I said, "I thought it was nice."
- It would give them an advantage. - You said they didn't do badly.
"It was nice."
(How well did he use the dialect in the movie?)
(Choking)
(He didn't get to say much.)
(I was a newly debuted actor.)
Even though Director Lee Joon Ik favored you,
he made you upset during a dinner.
I heard that you cried a lot.
You don't look like someone who cries.
I am a beast but a sensitive one.
- A sensitive beast. - What would be a sensitive beast?
I am not sure. One of the big herbivores, I guess.
I wouldn't call that a beast.
(Perhaps I am wrong.)
- A hippo. - A hippo isn't a beast.
- Hippos can be ferocious. - An elephant.
- Is an elephant a beast? - No, it's not.
Herbivores can't be beasts.
It's an irony.
(What he is suggesting would be a monster.)
- When did Director Lee Joon Ik do? - Did you cry a lot?
How did he make you upset?
I starred in a movie, "Radio Star".
- In which scene were you? - "Radio Star".
You played an employee at the district office, right?
You played a chef at the Chinese restaurant, right?
- Did you play a civil servant? - I deliver Chinese food.
How would we know that?
He is the one who goes to the studio.
Did you get a shot by yourself?
I believe he did.
- Of course I did. - Really?
I received recognition.
- It wasn't a big recognition. - Most directors don't do that.
I played a character named Mr. Jang.
My interpretation was that Mr. Jang has views of Yeongwol.
- Yeongwol. - A star came to the town,
but he responds with hostility.
Director Lee Joon Ik said, "That's nice."
"I like your character study."
He gave you compliments.
After the shoot one day, I had a team dinner...
with Ahn Sung Ki and Park Joong Hoon.
Director Lee Joon Ik suddenly said, "You jerk."
- "You won't do." - "You won't do."
- "You don't work hard." - "You don't work hard."
Since there were senior actors, I said, "I will work hard."
He suddenly told you that you don't work hard.
It was his way of telling me to work hard.
He thought I wasn't growing fast enough.
- He had expectations. - Yes.
He even picked me for "Pay Attention To This Actor".
- He picked you. - He gave an interview.
- He recommended you. - Please find the article.
- Please find the article. - "Pay Attention To This Actor".
I believe that was the title.
It was a shock therapy.
On my way back to Seoul, I cried a lot.
"I will work hard."
Were those tears of sadness or gratitude?
I didn't feel gratitude at the time.
- He is honest. - You were upset.
He favored me.
Did Director Lee Joon Ik cast you for his movies afterwards?
The film industry fell afterwards.
What are you talking about?
It didn't fall!
I know he made a few more movies.
There was a crisis.
Because the film industry was suffering,
- I started to star in dramas. - Which drama did you star in?
"War of Money".
- Park Shin Yang was in it. - "War of Money".
- Jang Tae Yoo was the director. - That's right.
It was thanks to Lee Won Jong that I got the job.
- Did he recommend you? - Yes.
He called me at 3am one day.
I almost didn't pick up since I thought he wanted to drink.
You are more calculative than I expected.
(It's good to analyze the situation.)
It's necessary.
- He is a calculative beast. - He really is.
He offered to recommend me to the director.
I enjoyed filming the first two episodes.
My character wasn't needed for later episodes,
but the director continued to use me because I was funny.
I starred in all 20 episodes of the drama.
You were supposed to star in the first two episodes.
It's something we didn't even realize.
Had you not brought it up, we wouldn't have known.
- We didn't know. - He bragged about himself.
I didn't know that was the story behind the drama.
That's because I am humble.
My goodness.
I am humble.
You thought your life would improve afterwards.
That's right.
I got many offers after the drama.
- I see. - Was there an incident?
I wouldn't call it an incident.
- Did the drama industry fall? - No, it didn't.
(It's funny to tease him.)
I got the same roles.
- You got the same roles. - Yes.
I was asked to play thugs and gangsters.
People advised me to void being type casted.
I thought it made sense and turned down the offers.
It was stupid. I should have taken the offers.
- That's how you get other roles. - That's right. I became forgotten.
- You can start over again. - That's right.
I heard you had a slip of the tongue during "War of Money"...
and grew distant from Park Shin Yang.
I don't know if I should talk about it.
I don't think you should.
He is a lot like you.
This is what I say. "I wasn't going to say this."
That's what I say.
I got interviews at the time.
"What is Park Shin Yang like?" I said, "He is the best actor."
"He gets a fat paycheck. He has a lot staff members."
"I am the only one who travels by myself."
"However, I plan to beat him in terms of spirit."
"The drama wouldn't be fun if the villain is weak."
"I repeat a motto to myself."
"I will crush you."
There is nothing wrong with the interview.
"The Actor Who Beats Park Shin Yang With Acting Skills"...
became the title.
It offended Park Shin Yang.
He used to like me a lot. He said, "You can act."
"That's good." He used to like me.
"I enjoyed the interview."
"The title was a bit too much, right?"
"The interview itself was a bit too much too."
After that,
- we grew apart. - At least you didn't get fired.
No, I didn't. He still took good care of me.
That's fortunate.
Jong Hyuk, you and your son were in "Dad! Where Are We Going?"
I heard you often think that your son is unique.
A few days ago, I got a call from my wife.
"Jun Su got kicked out from the academy."
- The academy? - Yes.
- You pay the academy. - I know.
- They don't usually do that. - Jun Su ruined the atmosphere.
I guess that was the case. He didn't do his homework.
He didn't follow the curriculum as fast as other children.
The instructor at the academy said, "Go home. I can't do this."
He apparently packed up with a smile and said,
"Please call Mom and speak on my behalf."
That's what my wife told me.
When he came home, his mom said, "I heard you got kicked out."
He said, "It's okay. I can go to another academy."
The moment I heard that,
I realized that my boy will grow up well.
- He takes after you. - It looks like he does.
- You know... - Jun Su likes...
taekwondo.
He doesn't like to miss taekwondo classes.
One day, I realized that his buttocks are firm.
"Jun Su, your buttocks are firm."
"They are firm because of Mom's beating."
- He is quick-witted. - That's why his buttocks are firm.
- He is quick-witted. - He is funny.
- He is an incredible kid. - He is nice.
Jun Su is like that.
One day, I slept in.
He asked to take a video with my cell phone.
- I showed you, right? - Yes.
He made funny faces.
- He has talent. - He pretended to get punched.
He pretended to stagger backwards after a punch.
I watch the video whenever I am sad. It's so funny.
(Grimacing)
(His face became plump.)
(He is moving in slow motion.)
Jong Hyuk's first son, Tak Su is already in eighth grade.
He is growing up fast.
Since he is going through puberty,
you are worried about sex education.
I really am.
It could be a bit late for sex education.
I am sure he knows everything.
Children in eighth grade know everything, right?
I heard that children mature faster these days.
I know. What should I do?
- Your son is grown up. - This is what I think.
- What did you do? - I saw strange pop-up windows...
on his cell phone. I said, "What is this?"
And he said, "I don't know."
I asked him a few times,
but he became embarrassed.
- Korean kids are like that. - That's why...
I didn't sit him down like they do in textbooks...
and said, "Let's talk about this."
I didn't talk about it at all.
I think teachers are better suited for it.
- Teachers should do it. - They are the experts.
I think it's a difficult topic for the parents.
These days,
he and his girlfriend stay at my place together.
- That's why... - What are you talking about?
- Do you give them room? - It's not like that.
- He and his girlfriend stay home... - That's right.
while I am working.
Since people recognize Dong Hyun, they hang out at home.
When I need to go on a short trip on the weekend,
I don't tell Dong Hyun.
Even when I am in the countryside, I call him and say,
"I am in Sangam-dong. I will be home soon."
He calls me later. "Why aren't you home yet?"
"I am having a drink at the convenience store."
Then I call him around 1:30am and say,
"I won't be home tonight."
You do that so his girlfriend wouldn't stay at home.
I say, "Did your girlfriend leave?" And he goes, "Yes, I sent her home."
"I won't be home tonight. See you tomorrow." Then I hang up.
Your tactics won't work once this episode airs.
(I am watching you.)
It's a different matter if you have daughters.
I don't know how to break the topic to my daughters.
- They will start their periods. - It will be hard.
You will go crazy if they run away from home.
Why are you giving me the worst-case scenario?
- Be careful. - What is wrong with you?
Make sure your daughter doesn't run away from home.
(His daughter is only three months old.)
- You never fight with your husband. - No.
I heard that you get frustrated because he never gets angry.
We haven't fought once.
- How is that possible? - It's strange, right?
Do you like to be controlling?
- What do you mean? - For an example...
- Do you nag him? - Do you?
No, I don't.
I make him want to come home.
Do you know any tricks?
Men want to stay out when women nag them.
I give him more freedom.
"You can go to clubs. Have fun." I don't even call him.
- Really? - Yes.
I only sit him down the next day...
and remind him that he is married. We have a nice conversation.
Did he come back home in the morning?
No, he didn't do that.
It's hard for a married man to come back home in the morning.
It looks like her husband has done it once.
No, he hasn't. He doesn't do that.
There were times he came back home late due to work.
He struggled with "Old House, New House".
He is a very nice man. I know that.
- That's more suspicious. - He is a very nice man.
He must be very nice.
Is he like Kang Ha Neul?
He is as sweet as Kang Ha Neul. That's how nice he is.
He is like Kang Ha Neul. That's how nice he is.
There must be times when you get angry.
Before the wedding, it worried me that we hadn't fought.
We should have hit the bottom.
You should have irritated him.
I did that.
- You should have irritated him. - He didn't fall for it.
One time, we went to eat kimchi jjigae.
We had gotten a new car after his old car died.
It was only one month old.
- The valet damaged both doors. - He damaged them.
I became very angry.
- I became very angry. - He damaged both doors.
I have a lot of anger inside me.
He acted like it's something that happens all the time.
He said, "I will call the insurance company."
It made me very angry. I wanted an apology.
I became very angry.
I was afraid he would look down on me.
I have a trauma involving that.
You have a lot of traumas and anger.
(She is rich with emotions.)
I was pulling my hair in front of the car.
- I was so angry. - She will play a nice villain well.
She is good.
I was so angry. "For goodness' sake."
"This car is only a month old."
Because I have a high-pitched voice,
everyone looked at me.
My husband said, "Da Eun, go inside. Go inside."
He was afraid someone would say something.
However, I was too angry. I said, "I can't believe this."
"These dents can't even be fixed."
- You were very angry. - That's right.
She embarrassed her husband.
- She embarrassed her husband. - "These dents can't be fixed."
What is this?
(Honey, please go inside.)
Ha Seok Jin introduced Da Eun to her husband.
- Ha Seok Jin did that. - I see.
What do you mean that he still gives after-sales services?
He introduced them to each other.
He not only helped us meet, but also hosted the wedding.
He was also the witness when we registered the marriage.
He is my husband's best friend.
I texted him. "Everything is going well so far."
"It's thanks to you that I am living happily."
I give him reports on the married life.
"Everything is going well so far."
I heard there is a strange rule men have to follow.
I heard men can't say, "I will go home now."
That's the drinking culture.
They can't say that.
They go, "You can't leave so soon. I am married, too."
Ha Seok Jin tells my husband, "You should go home now."
I think he is building up his credit.
He is racking up miles.
You will trust him when he is with Seok Jin.
Seok Jin will betray you one day.
He will stab you in the back.
(I am getting angry.)
Da Eun...
- always looks for the lowest price. - She is like that.
I heard that you recently made a mistake because of it.
I searched the web for a dehumidifier.
One website offered a price that is 80 dollars cheaper.
That's very cheap.
I thought to myself, "I am the best." I ordered it.
I ordered it,
but it wouldn't come even after three days.
I thought it was strange. When I called,
no one picked up.
It was a scam.
People were in a frenzy at the bulletin board.
A lot of people were scammed.
- You weren't the only one. - No.
- I became very angry. - You were deceived.
- You already had a trauma. - You were looked down upon.
I know. I was looked down upon.
"The society looked down on me again."
- I thought, "I was a fool." - You blamed yourself.
People said...
we need to make many reports in order to catch them.
That's why I went to Yongsan Police Station.
You went there alone.
- You are a celebrity. - I went there.
I wanted to catch them because I was very angry.
You live diligently.
You give everything your best.
A few days later, they got caught.
- Really? - I saw it on the news.
Reports must have flooded in.
However, I didn't get my money back. It's apparently impossible.
- You can't get your money back. - They said they don't have money.
You should have visited them at the prison.
She wouldn't live that diligently.
- That would be too much. - Right.
"I will wait until you get released from the prison."
I thought I would get my money back.
- They said they don't have money. - Go to Seoul Correctional Center.
(Give me back my money.)
Gwang Sik got married at the age of 43.
I heard that your wife comes from an elite family.
Are her parents diplomats?
It's not like that.
- What do her parents do? - They work at a bank.
- They work at a bank. - Yes.
- What does she do? - She is an office worker.
- That's pretty ordinary. - Which company does she work for?
(She works at Doosan.)
She works at Doosan.
I didn't think he would give me the name of the company.
- She must be a fan of Doosan Bears. - She switched teams.
Which baseball team did she like in the past?
LG Twins.
(LG Twins and Doosan Bears are rivals.)
It must have been hard.
I know. She still managed to switch teams.
I bet she had no choice.
Her company continued to give her tickets for the games.
- Most people don't switch teams. - No, they don't.
She was a fan of LG Twins since their Blue Dragon days.
(She was a devoted fan.)
That's like changing the religion.
- She changed her religion. - She switched teams.
Is she a section chief there?
She is the head of department.
That's nice.
She has held the title for a long time.
She will be an executive.
That's why he looks relaxed.
You once acted when you were dining with your in-laws.
She studied abroad at a prestigious university.
My sister-in-law also studied at University of Cambridge.
- It's an elite family. - Since she studied in England,
she brought her English boyfriend and dined with her family.
I knew that...
everyone in the family spoke English.
My English skills are ordinary.
Instead of saying that they are bad, he says that they are ordinary.
That's right. That's ordinary.
I didn't understand half of the conversation.
- You can use appropriate gestures. - I only made small gestures.
(Nodding)
You should understand if they are talking about you.
My wits will let me understand that.
That's right.
Did he recite a line from Shakespeare's play for him?
He went back after lunch.
(What are you talking about?)
He went back after lunch.
Why would he recite a line from Shakespeare's play in Korean?
- Do you think that makes sense? - Seriously.
Have you seen his wife?
I have seen her at the housewarming party.
That's right.
- I didn't think he would... - You didn't think he would marry.
- No. - That's what you thought.
Let me explain.
I think my wife is beautiful.
However, she is big.
- She is tall too. - She is over 170cm tall.
That's right.
How big is she?
She is like the mascot of Doosan.
- Okay. - The mascot!
She is big.
(She is my love.)
(They are meant to be.)
Did your wife buy the house?
That's not true.
I paid half.
- You went Dutch. - You went Dutch.
You went Dutch.
That kind of expression doesn't fit the purchase of a house.
I didn't mean anything by it.
They paid half each.
We aren't talking about paying for drinks.
I heard you were proud of your wife because of drinks.
After we set the wedding date,
I introduced her to my friends who are office workers.
She came and said,
"I will say hello to everyone as I pour a drink."
There were 13 friends of mine.
She took 13 shots.
(She took 13 shots.)
She drank with your friends.
- That's incredible. - You were proud of that.
- I was very proud. - Of course he was.
That's very cool.
She did that for you.
That's why you said she will be an executive.
- Executives do that. - She is the department head.
She knocked down my friends.
She felt a bit tired the next day, but she still went to work.
Some of my friends couldn't go to work.
She is a girl crush.
She is incredible. She is great.
She really is. I call her General Yoon.
- General Yoon. - Her last name is Yoon.
- Yes, it is. - Women of Yoon Clan are incredible.
Men of Yoon Clan are gentle.
Isn't your father-in-law gentle?
He is. She inherited her liver from father-in-law.
It's the super liver.
(Please save me.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
Today's theme is for four stars of Daehangno...
who transform on the stage.
Songs That Show My Unexpected Charms!
Da Eun chose a song that suits her.
- Let's hear it. - She is ambitious.
(Which song did she choose?)
It's Orange Caramel.
("Lipstick" by Orange Caramel)
- It's "Lipstick" by Orange Caramel. - Orange Caramel.
Is there a reason you chose this song?
I am good at singing this kind of song.
(She is confident.)
She doesn't hold back.
"I am good at singing this kind of song."
I can do it.
- Let's hear Da Eun sing "Lipstick". - "Lipstick".
She is a cheerful woman.
(She starts with her back turned.)
(She transforms.)
(Look at her facial expression.)
(Directors who looked down on me should watch.)
She is good.
(Director, you are very picky, perhaps you have another actress.)
(You looked down on me.)
(Who would look down on her?)
(I know you wanted to cast me.)
(She sings with a nasal voice.)
(Your electrifying eyes make me melt)
(His heart is melting.)
(She has irresistible charms.)
(She captivates their hearts.)
(She is exactly like Orange Caramel.)
(She captivates men's hearts.)
(Gosh, gosh)
(Who will look down on her? I will cast her.)
(Turning)
(She ends the performance by wiping her lips.)
My goodness.
- That was the best. - She did a good job.
I did a good job, right?
She did an amazing job.
(They acknowledge her talent.)
That was the best.
It wasn't a clumsy performance by an actress.
- I know. - Were you a trainee?
- Really? - Were you a trainee?
- It looks like she did. - I like to party at a karaoke.
That makes sense.
She didn't do as well as a trainee.
There was an awkward charm.
In my 20s,
I knew all dances by idol singers.
Her husband will bend to her every wish.
She has too much talent to be contained by him.
My goodness.
Let's hear the song Ki Jun chose.
("A Night like Tonight" by Lee Kwang Cho)
He reminds me of Lee Kwang Cho.
That's right.
(He imitates Lee Kwang Cho.)
All right. Why did you choose this song?
Gwang Sik chose the same song.
This song always puts me...
in a good mood.
- It's a good song. - "A Night Like Tonight".
It's requested all the time.
Let's hear "A Night Like Tonight" by Ki Jun and Gwang Sik.
All right.
("A Night Like Tonight" by Won Ki Jun and Kim Gwang Sik)
(The intro is reminiscent of Broadway.)
(Hey)
(His rejoinders don't fit the atmosphere.)
(Hey)
(He looks nervous.)
(A night like tonight)
(He has a nice baritone voice.)
He can sing very well.
(They ride the rhythm together.)
(You are not by my side)
(Hey)
(He begins to sing with his gentle voice.)
(It's like a musical.)
(Is he miming?)
(Trying hard)
(He is full of feelings.)
(They burst out laughing.)
(The two men give a beautiful harmony.)
(He can't take his eyes off of them.)
(A night like tonight)
(They are on Radio Star.)
(She is excited.)
(Without you, I feel lonely)
(Excited)
(Time passed by quickly because they are together.)
(A night like tonight)
Thank you.
They did a good job.
I think he is very similar...
to Kim Sang Ho, the comedian.
I thought he looked familiar.
- He is similar to Kim Sang Ho. - Kim Sang Ho, the comedian.
I gained a lot of weight these days.
- You weren't this big before. - No, I wasn't.
Because my mind is at ease,
I gained a lot of weight.
You have never been skinny.
Not really.
(Not really.)
Shakespeare once said,
"All the world's a stage."
"And all the men and women..."
"merely players."
(They agree.)
In a life that is a play,
these four guests move towards their goals and dreams.
We hope they will become good actors...
who do their parts both on and off the stage.
We will say goodbye here.
- See you next week. - Please.
("New Face" by Psy)
